I cast on 24 stitches for the cowl and did a few rows of garter stitch at the end of the button band. Easy easy knit.

And, because I had some leftover yarn, I also knit a nice warm headband:

I knit a tube and then seamed it together for the headband. It's double the fabric! Double the fun!

Kristi received her box of goodies today and I am so happy she liked it (there may or may not have been some knitting needles and some yarn in there to get her started knitting...honestly).

Other than that, my spinning wheel arrived yesterday! It's put together and some (very poopr) spinning started last night. I can't wait to get home this afternoon to work on it some more. Hopefully, I will have some pics to show later this weekend!
